i was actually going to have white strip on both sides of the fretboard, but then i thought "what if i do it like this".
i think it looks neat. i think i've seen it on some other guitar but i can't remember.
thanks guys!

sry for double posting.
so, what is there still to be done?
well, not much. i just need to rout the pickup(only one for now) and control cavities and then shape the neck heel and then sand and stain the whole guitar.
then finish it.
then all i need is to save up for a BKP and it's done!... may take a while.
but if the neck was glued into the body, i could already play it

so i shaped the heel and the horn, to ease access to the 24th fret. i can just get my pinky on it = good enough. then i sanded the whole guitar, using first 100 grit sandingpaper and finally 240 grit. then i raised the grain (by wetting the surface) and sanded it again with 240 grit. i did that twice.
and then i stained the whole backside of the guitar guitar.
i could've finished the guitar tomorrow, but unfortunately the store where i bough the polyurethane didn't have the right thinner. so i gotta wait until tuesday for it to arrive. but the poly i will be using is Hempel dura-satin
it's supposedly a VERY hard finish. plus it's satin which is just nice.
picture time
the next update will be a NGD update.

Oh my. That's a nice looking tele! And that heel looks really good, too.

the guitar is done....
it looks like sex.
BUT, asio4all is such a piece of crap that i really can't record anything with the guitar (since it sounds like poop) so no NGD before my m-audio fast track arrives from the mail, some time next week.
no pictures either untill then.

well. here it is!
(i don't remember if i'm allowed to post that many images in one post. if not, then please pm me first!)
and the final specs:
27'' scale neck
medium jumbo frets
12 degree fretboard radius
BKP Aftermath from ola englund's solar 7 proto!!!!
1 push-pull volume knob, for splitting the humbucker.
neck thickness at 1st fret 22mm and the same at 12th fret
bone nut
ebony fingerboard, maple neck, mahogany body with a maple top.
finish used: hempel dura satin (modified alkyd = oil varnish)
the pickup selector currently is not wired, i'll have to think something for it.
it sounds fantastic, tho a little lower output. but that just means more tweaking from the amp. it sounds awesome. and it works for whatever you wanna play. not just djent.
Special thanks goes to Ola Englund for sending me the pickup! if it wasn't for him, i would've had to wait for maybe more than a year before i could afford the pickup! There still is some good people left in this world.
you guys should check him out!
